Walking with Ieyasu: Discovering the Roots of Peace

Join us for a unique cultural journey through Okazaki Castle Park guided in English by an Okazaki native, former Assosiated Press journalist and peace advocate Kuniomi Asai.

Through this walking tour, we’ll trace the life and vision of Tokugawa Ieyasu, a unifier of Japan whose peaceful governance shaped the Edo period—a time of over 260 years of peace.

We’ll explore historical landmarks and visit the museum within Okazaki Castle Park, reflecting on how Ieyasu’s decisions continue to inspire our modern pursuit of harmony and coexistence.

This tour is perfect for English learners, history lovers, and those seeking deeper understanding of Japan’s message of peace to the world.

Let’s walk together and rediscover the timeless legacy of Ieyasu.
